Republicans wanted a $250 billion extension for the highly successful small business crisis package.
The initial $350 billion in the program ran out in the first two weeks.
THOUSANDS of small businesses applied for the loan and are waiting for Congress to refund the program.
 

But Nancy Pelosi is stalling.
She’s struggling at home in her mansion with her gourmet ice cream.
Why the hell should she care?

The Democrats, for all their railing against "plutocrats" and "Big Business", actually hate small business far more.  People who own their own businesses and don't have big legal departments to deal with regulations, or who work in small businesses and work closely enough with the owner to know what's good and bad for the business, are an irreducible supply of opposition to all their economic schemes. 

Big Business (unless the owners happen to be libertarian ideologues -- Koch Industries being the sole example of that which springs to mind) is happy to be coopted with goodies from the government, cheerfully accepts intrusive regulation because they can handle it while their small business competitors are crushed by it.  Actual plutocrats are willing to buy indulgences by donating to LGBTQWERTY causes, buying carbon offsets and the like, while small business don't have the margin to spend money kow-towing to the mandarins of multiculturalism, polymorphic perversity and anti-human ecologism.

Hundreds of House lawmakers will return to Capitol on Thursday to vote on up to three bills
Washington Examiner, Apr 21, 2020

Hundreds of House lawmakers are expected to return to the Capitol to vote Thursday on a series of bills responding to the coronavirus pandemic, including a major spending package and a rules change to allow proxy voting.

House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, a Maryland Democrat, told reporters Tuesday that the leadership has determined “well over half our members will return” to Washington for legislative business.

The list of legislation on the agenda includes a $470 billion coronavirus aid package to help small businesses and enable coronavirus testing and a change in the rules to allow lawmakers to vote for one another on the House floor.

Republicans expect many of their own members to return for the votes, GOP lawmakers said. There are currently 429 House representatives.

Democrats, who control the House, may attempt to pass a resolution creating a select committee to examine the federal response to the coronavirus outbreak, Rep. Tom Cole, the top Republican on the House Rules Committee, told the Washington Examiner.

Republicans have registered opposition to both the rules change and the select committee.

Hoyer told reporters that he supports a resolution to allow proxy voting and remote work for committees because it will allow lawmakers to work during the coronavirus outbreak.

“I believe we need procedures in place to allow remote voting and remote committee work,” Hoyer said.

Hoyer told reporters that Democrats plan to work with Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and the top Republicans on committees “on how this can be effective.”

FWIW, I think the Reps should be in DC doing their jobs. They can wear mask and gloves and wash their hands. Enough already with all the drama.

I have no problem with the loan/grant program being reviewed to see who got loans that shouldn't have and to require the money be returned, but while that is going on more money should be put in so businesses can be saved.
